     —Se on ollu jo kauan. Se on Akseli Johannes.

     —How's Akseli?
     —He's got a name now?
     —For quite a while now. It's Akseli Johannes.

   • 1982, Arto Paasilinna, Kultainen nousukas, WSOY, →ISBN, page 8:

     Mistä emäntä keksi antaa lapsiraukalle nimeksi juuri Akselin? Eikö hänen mieleensä juolahtanut että vauva olisi voitu hätäkastaa vaikkapa Heikiksi, Juhaniksi tai Matiksi? Ehkäpä pelästyneen naisen mielessä harhaili tuolla hetkellä sota ja akselivallat? Tuskin hän ajatteli kärrynpyöriä, jotka kiertävät akselin varassa. Akseli on enemmänkin koneenosa kuin ihmisen nimi, mutta minkäpä vauva nimelleen voi, varsinkin jos sattuu syntymään kuolleena.

     Just where the mistress did get Akseli from as the name for the poor child? Didn't she think that perhaps Heikki, Juhani or Matti would have been a better name on the spot? Maybe the war and the Axis powers were occupying the mind of that frightened woman? I doubt she was thinking of cartwheels and their axles. Akseli is more like a cog in a machine than a name for a human. What can a baby do about his name anyway, especially when he's stillborn.
